So, I have a 2001 XJ, with an AW4 transmission and an NP231 transfer case.
I am going to be changing both my Transmission fluid and T-case fluid this week and will be using Dexron fluid as per the FSM recommendations.
Seems like Dextron III is no longer existent and now there is only Dextron V and VI.
My question is: What BRAND Dexron compatible fluid do you use?
I am personally leaning towards:
Redline D4 which seems to be a good suitable substitute for Mercon III
Royal Purple Max ATF- I've heard great things about RP but when reading the product's description it seems to be a substitute for every trans fluid...Including ATF+4 which I am avoiding to use.
or Valvoline DEX/MERC ATF Max Life
The most important thing I'm looking for is which will reduce the amount of heat and wear on the tranny all while shifting smoothly.
Can any of you guys give me input on any of these products and how they react with your XJ?
